BACKGROUND ART [0002] Generally, a head lamp of an automobile includes a head lamp housing, a head lamp bulb, a reflector that reflects the light emitted from the head lamp bulb into parallel rays, and a socket for fixing the head lamp bulb.

In the operation of the automobile headlamp constructed as described above, light emitted from a bulb supplied with electric current through a wire is reflected by a reflecting mirror and irradiated as parallel rays.

The head lamp of such an automobile is required to be replaced when the filament is broken or the head lamp itself is not turned on due to a failure of the lamp itself. However, the malfunction of the head lamp is mainly caused when the head lamp is operated at night The head lamp can not be exchanged easily. If the head lamp is not operated, there is a high risk of a traffic accident because the clock is defective. If there is moisture in the head lamp, the lamp lens and the reflecting mirror material Thereby failing to provide the original function and promoting aging of the lamp.

In this way, conventionally, most users check whether there is a failure at the time of use of the lamp, and in case of driving, the risk of accidents becomes high because the lamp must be operated without lighting such as a headlight. In the case where moisture is generated due to incomplete assembling at the time of replacement, light is dispersed due to moisture, which increases the risk of the driver and promotes aging of the head lamp. It is necessary to provide a maintenance support capable of confirming whether or not to replace the lamp in advance and confirming the replacement of the lamp and performing drying for removing moisture.

The apparatus housing 100 may be formed as an enclosure having a predetermined space therein and may be configured to be small so that the user can carry it easily. However, if the apparatus housing 100 is manufactured in a large size, . Reference numeral 130 denotes a blowing fan for discharging the internal air to the outside.

The compressor 200 can use a known compressor and is not particularly limited as long as it can compress air and supply the compressed air through a maintenance supply medium supply line 400.

The heater 300 is configured to generate warm air and to supply the generated air to the outside through the maintenance supply medium supply line 400.

Next, the maintenance supply medium supply line 400 may supply the maintenance supply medium such as the compressed air generated in the compressor 200 and the hot air generated in the heater 300 to the inside of the lamp housing provided with the lamp A hard line and / or a flexible line may be selectively combined.

On the maintenance supply medium supply line 400, there is provided a flow control valve capable of controlling the supplied maintenance supply medium, and the flow control valve can be controlled by a control panel to be described later.

The sensor unit 500 is not particularly limited as long as it is a sensor capable of detecting factors related to the diagnosis of the lamp. In the present invention, A temperature sensor 510, a pressure sensor 520, and a humidity sensor 530 in consideration of the temperature.

The temperature sensor 510 senses and detects the temperature of the compressed air or hot air as the maintenance supply medium. The pressure sensor senses and detects the pressure in the lamp housing through the compressed air supplied to the lamp housing provided with the lamp, The sensor 530 detects the humidity in the lamp housing.

The control panel includes a power control circuit board 610 for controlling the power supply of the components, and a central circuit board 620 for controlling the operation of the components, And a data information unit (not shown) in which a reference value serving as a maintenance reference is provided in advance.

With respect to the vehicle lamp maintenance apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above, refer to a maintenance method of a vehicle lamp unit described later.

Next, a vehicle lamp maintenance method according to the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6 is a flowchart schematically showing a lamp maintenance method for a vehicle according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the vehicle lamp maintenance method according to the present invention includes: a maintenance factor reference value providing step (S100) of preparing a reference value of a pressure, which is a maintenance related factor for a lamp of a vehicle to be serviced first; A pressure chamber measuring step (S200) of measuring the pressure in the lamp housing in the lamp of the vehicle to be maintained to obtain the actual measured pressure value; (S300) of determining whether the air outflow is out of the permissible range by comparing the reference value with the actual measured pressure value; And a maintenance execution step (S400) of supplying hot air into the lamp housing when it is determined that the air outflow is out of the permissible range in the maintenance existence determination.

The maintenance factor reference value providing step (S100) may be performed by providing a relative reference value for comparing with the actual measured pressure value measured in the pressure chamber measuring step, which is a subsequent step, by measuring the pressure state at the atmospheric pressure state , A reference value is preliminarily input in the maintenance manual for the vehicle without the need for measurement for setting the reference value, and a reference value can be provided by selecting the reference value.

Next, the pressure chamber measuring step (S200) blows pressure air into the lamp housing and measures the actual measured pressure value measured by the pressure sensor.

Then, in the step S300 of determining whether or not there is a maintenance, the reference value is compared with the actual measured pressure value, and it is determined through the display screen as shown in FIG. 7, for example, whether or not the allowable range is exceeded. 7 is an exemplary display screen for comparing the reference value with the actual measured pressure value in the lamp maintenance method of the present invention to judge whether maintenance is performed.

Next, in the maintenance execution step (S400), as shown in FIG. 8, hot air is blown in order to remove moisture, which is most sensitive to the lamp in a state in which the dusk cap of the lamp housing is detached, Moisture can be quickly and easily removed. FIG. 8 is a reference view showing an example in which hot air is blown into a lamp housing according to a result of determining whether or not maintenance is performed in the lamp maintenance method according to the present invention. (Before drying) and after blowing (after drying).

In order to diagnose and repair the lamp, the connection hose of the lamp and the device housing is connected and the compressor is operated for a predetermined period of time, If the difference in pressure is large, there is a gap between the lamps to cause the air to flow into the lamp and cause moisture to be generated. Therefore, the lamp is judged to be defective and replaced. On the other hand, If there is no pressure difference, temporary moisture is generated due to the inflow of air generated by the operation of replacing the bulb in the normal lamp. If the normal lamp generates moisture, the heater is operated to remove moisture and finish maintenance.

This series of operations is performed by touching a menu displayed on a display window (e.g., a touch LCD screen) of the apparatus housing, and the resultant value or the like is displayed.

In the past, the maintenance shop has unconditionally replaced the lamp, turned on the lamp light and turned off the natural moisture for a long time. In addition, since the lamp itself is separated when the lamp is diagnosed, the present invention can be diagnosed and maintained without detaching the lamp. Therefore, the present invention can simplify and speed diagnosis and maintenance by reducing costs and time of a consumer or a manufacturer, and greatly improving stability against a driving accident

The vehicle lamp maintenance apparatus and lamp maintenance method according to the present invention as described above can accurately diagnose a replacement point of time to prevent waste of resources, reduce the cost of AS due to replacement, There is an advantage that it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the heat conduction of the reflecting mirror material, to suppress the aging of the lamp, to prevent the increase of the risk of the driver due to the dispersion of light,
